Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was handed a stinging loss in the New York primary Tuesday, getting shut out of delegates by Donald Trump and John Kasich.

And in at least one congressional district, the Texas senator lost to someone who has long since dropped out of the race: Ben Carson.

If Trump were an honorable man, he wouldn’t have run around on his wife.

And Trump lost his home county to Kasich.

He got like 10% of Trump Tower residents.

New York is weird and meaningless for the general.

Hillary got half a million more votes than Trump. Sanders got a quarter million more than Trump. Hillary and Bernie more than doubled the total of Trump, Kasich and Cruz combined.

Must be a Cruz Supporter

In New York only Democrats can vote for Democrats and Republicans can vote for Republicans

Independents don't Vote.

It was just over a week ago that Cruz was saying Trump should drop out if he didn't get 50% of the NY vote. Trump FAR exceeded Cruz's expectations. Factor in that Cruz didn't reach the 50% mark in the TX primary.

Cruz should do the honorable thing and drop out. Maybe he can rehabilitate his reputation as a maverick can-do outsider in the US Senate. Right now he's laughing stock.

New York County makes up the core of Manhattan, as Liberal as it can get. I was amazed that Kasich won that, what does that really mean?
